  Oops, yeah: FBI. Sorry about that. To which one might be tempted to say "Well, sure, but J. Edger Hoover was totally out of control", but that's the thing: we let a totally out-of-control guy abuse a extremely powerful agency and do these things.

  Wow, great read. Very frightening, especially when one considers what they could be at today.
